Dennis Wise has strongly denied bullying Iain Lee in the I’m A Celeb jungle in an interview via Australia on Good Morning Britain today

In the chat with Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway on today’s Good Morning Britain, Dennis, 50, vehemently denied any suggestion he was picking on the TalkRADIO host – and instead revealed he’s bagged him complimentary tickets for a Chelsea FC game with his kids.

Dennis confessed: “I was shocked. I have got tickets for him and his kids to go to Chelsea.”

Last night, we reported how fans celebrated as the former footballer was booted out of the ITV show.

He had been accused of bullying the radio DJ after he told Iain he shouldn’t do a Bushtucker trial, in case he failed, because he wasn’t good enough.

He continued to insist they were in fact good pals as he dished up details of their off-camera conversations and added: “We are going to his new talk show, then all of us are going to go to Amir’s boxing in February, when he’s got his first fight.

“And I am going to meet (Iain) in Gerrards Cross where his mum is in a care home.”

Dennis, who was a hero among Chelsea fans in his football heyday, even went as far as to name the restaurant they would be eating in afterwards – contemporary brasserie Wildwood.

With a serious expression, he continued: “I am a little bit shocked at what’s happened.
